I stopped playing and paying the Google game awhile ago. Their whole “Don’t be evil” mantra seems to be a thing of the past.

Google, don’t become Microsoft, ok? Microsoft has actually gotten “softer” throughout the years.

I was just dropped today from a 3 to a 2 after expecting to go to a 5. I do sponsored posts on my blog. My other blog went from a 0 to a 3 today however there are less sponsored posts on that blog. I know of several other bloggers who have gotten the PR boot as well…all with sponsored posts. I read somewhere on one of google’s pages that they consider sponsored linking to be an attempt to “buy PR”. I wasn’t attempting to buy PR with my sponsored posts. I was buying groceries and clothes and shoes for three 8 year olds and paying electric bills and water bills. I’ll get buy with my PR 2 and if they drop me again, so be it. I’m doing a total protest of Google and if more people stand up and do the same, maybe they’re realize that they aren’t the gods that they think they are!

[...] to one man’s goal you have three options. 1. You could just quit selling text links. While this may be the option [...]

Great article. Congratulations on your courage. I totally support your point of view. While I’ll still use some Google services because I truly enjoy them, I won’t let Google tell me what to do with my sites. They’re mine, after all! Otherwise I might better sell them to Google and look for something else to do.

I’m going to stumble this article.

I think Google is operating to ruff, if we have to we will go back to Yahoo …

“But for you to say that you shouldnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t worry about it because there MAY not be any PageRank implications, could be just a little naive. If they were willing to do this, how far will they go? SERP may be next. It happened to John ChowÃ¢â‚¬Â¦”

The truth is, most blogs in the ‘make money online’ niche sell links. Google can’t just go and ban them all, or the quality of their results will get worse. Them dropping John Chow from the SERPs was a bad decision in my opinion. It just looks ridiculous when you don’t see his site for “John Chow”.

Yeah, they might do another round and ban the people who did not care about the warning, but even then… I’ll just mean that I turn to Yahoo! when I need to find something SEO related.
